So the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency at the Pentagon has developed a hand-held wand that snuffs out fires, without chemicals.

According to the program s manager, Dr. Matt Goodman, an electric field destabilizes the flame s underlying structure rather than blanketing the fire to smother it.

and slow lumbering slurry bombers that each dumped more than 2, 000 gallons of red chemical fire retardant on a formerly pristine mountainside.

the technology has bestowed most of its benefits on agribusiness#almost always through crops modified to withstand weed-killing chemicals

In 1996, for example, biotechnology firm Monsanto of St louis, Missouri, introduced the first of its popular Roundup Ready products:

a soya bean equipped with a bacterial gene that allows it to tolerate a Monsanto-made glyphosphate herbicide known as Roundup.

including Monsanto s Bt cotton: a plant modified to produce a bacterial toxin that discourages destructive bollworms and cuts down on the need for pesticides.

The key is an alarm pheromone that some species of wild plant have evolved to mimic the chemical warning signals put out by aphids#a major crop pest in the temperate zones

Unlike Bt cotton and other existing GM organisms, such a crop would need no insect-killing chemical for protection from pests.

Based on previous work, the Japanese researchers sought to improve their cloning efficiency by using a chemical called trichostatin A that inhibits the powerful epigenetic protein histone deacetylase.

and interferon for multiple sclerosis and crops like Monsanto s Roundup Ready soybeans was based on relatively crude methods for inserting a gene from one organism into another.

Scientists at the University of Michigan think they have a technology that emulates this process to display pictures without chemicals or electrical power.

When you look at a picture of a red flower on paper there is a pigment chemical that absorbs each color--green and blue for instance

The use of natural biodegradable products as an alternative to synthetic chemicals has shown remarkable improvements in maintaining fruit quality

Synthetic chemicals are used currently to control postharvest diseases but consumers worry about the chemical residues they leave on fruit their environmental impact

and the potential for pathogens to become resistant to them. Our research is a response to this developing more environmentally friendly and non-chemical approaches.

This includes packing food in containers that modify the atmosphere to prevent decay hot water treatment

or blanching and most importantly using natural biodegradable products as an alternative to synthetic chemicals. Once proper postharvest technologies are used efficiently food losses can be minimised and the problem of food insecurity alleviated.

Cutting out the chemicals: Nature Newsozone experts are exploring ways to curb powerful greenhouse gases of their own making under the Montreal Protocol,

now, chemical manufacturers have moved on to a third-generation replacement, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCS; see graphic. HFCS are cheap

a network of experts worldwide and a 20-year track record of handling these types of chemicals.

We created these chemicals and we can get rid of them, says Durwood Zaelke, president of the Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development, an advocacy group in WASHINGTON DC.

We have the chemicals. We have the wherewithal within the treaty. It's just an administrative issue.

Emissions of some ozone-depleting chemicals will continue for some time and even in 2100 long-lived CFCS will remain the dominant ozone destroyers.

But schedules are in place to phase out most of the remaining chemicals of concern. The ozone story is winding to a close,

when analysing chemicals. And Fahey says Montreal's experts have performed well on that account. He co-authored a 2007 paper estimating that

depending on which chemicals fill the void. This is largely why the Montreal parties decided to weigh in on HFCS now.

In a particularly controversial example, industrialized countries have been offsetting their emissions by paying companies in the developing world to incinerate the chemical HFC-23,

The chemical giant Dupont, based in Wilmington, Delaware, is concerned more about industrial HFC refrigerants than incidental HFC by-products, for

better industrial processes and, ultimately, the development of new, more climate-friendly chemicals, says Mcfarland.

The US Environmental protection agency (EPA) has agreed to set new rules governing emissions of mercury and other toxic chemicals from power plants by November 2011,

Nobel chemist dies John Fenn (pictured who shared the 2002 Nobel prize in Chemistry, died on 10 december aged 93.

In the late 1980s, he developed electrospray ionization, a way to gently separate clumped proteins into a fine spray of individual molecules.

This method, when combined with mass spectrometry, gave scientists a tool to quickly identify proteins via their mass

and helped to launch the field of proteomics. In 2005, Fenn lost a legal battle over the patent rights to Yale university in New haven, Connecticut,

Bisphenol A ban The European commission has agreed to ban the common chemical bisphenol A from baby bottles across the European union by mid-2011.

But even Monsanto, the agricultural biotechnology giant in St louis, Missouri, was surprised by the furore that followed

In 1999, Monsanto s chief executive pledged not to commercialize terminator seeds. The concept, if not the technology, is now gaining traction again.

This week, the US Supreme court hears arguments that pit Monsanto against 75-year-old Indiana soya-bean farmer Vernon Hugh Bowman

who used the progeny of Monsanto seeds to sow his land for eight seasons. The company says that by not buying seeds for each generation,

"If I were at Monsanto and I learned that patents are not available to protect my soybeans,

Bowman was a regular customer for Monsanto s herbicide-resistant soya beans for his main crop,

but bypassed the company by purchasing seed for a late-season crop from a grain elevator known to contain Monsanto s transgenic seed.

Monsanto sued him. As the case climbed through the court system, it grew from a simple contract violation to a challenge of the idea that companies can use patents to limit the offspring of naturally self-replicating technologies.

The lower courts sided with Monsanto, and many were surprised when the Supreme court took up the appeal.

Another approach is to place the transgene under the control of a switch that must be activated by a proprietary chemical.

That would give companies control over the engineered trait by forcing buyers to return each year to purchase the chemical.

That is the strategy of Ginkgo Bioworks, a four-year-old synthetic biology company in Boston, Massachusetts, that develops made-to-order microbes to churn out marketable chemicals.

a genetic tweak that makes production of the desired chemical dependent on a proprietary additive, supplied by Ginkgo, in its fermentation medium.

and food safety groups are concerned about contamination of food crops with products from a new generation of crops engineered to produce chemicals or pharmaceuticals.

Patents owned by Monsanto required the insertion of three different genes into the plant genome.

Monsanto says it is currently not researching the techniques, and other companies are hoping that they will not have to."

it altered the plant s gene expression by changing the pattern of chemical groups added to its DNA rather than changing the DNA sequence itself.

Agricultural giants Monsanto, based in St  Louis, Missouri, and Syngenta, headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, are vying to license the technology."

Farmers dig into soil qualityefforts to bring chemical fertilizers to Sub-saharan africa are met often with concerns over harmful environmental and economic side effects.

Rapid soil-fertility assessment, a new spectroscopy technique used to analyse samples and produce site-specific soil maps for farmers,

Widespread use of chemical fertilizer has increased greatly food sufficiency in many countries, for example in China and India,

but the ecological and health effects of fertilizer chemicals raise serious concerns. China in particular, is facing a major pollution problem from overuse of nitrogen fertilizer,

Field trials to assess the ecological efficiency of organic and chemical fertilizers in different geographic and climatic settings are under way in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Uganda and Tanzania.

To help, researchers at CIAT developed the spectroscopy technique, which uses mid-infrared light, to precisely determine the mineral properties, nutrient content and organic chemistry of sub-Saharan soils.

Although still in its infancy, the technology could one day be used to evaluate and map the yield potential of soils across the region information that would then be relayed to farmers."

Advances in soil spectroscopy are"very promising, he adds, and spectral ana  lysis is on the agenda of a special FAO workshop on soil monitoring in Rome this December.

Most agricultural scientists acknowledge that applying only chemical fertilizers is not the solution to Africa s yield problem.

Chemical treatment could cut cost of biofuela mild chemical treatment that completely dissolves wood, dried grasses and other indigestible plant matter could greatly improve the efficiency of converting waste biomass to fuel.

chemists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have invented now a process that they say easily extracts sugars from lignin and cellulose fibres."

Other academic and industrial scientists say that the chemical treatment is promising, but that it is too early to tell

mild chemicals known as ionic liquids can do the trick, as can harsh acids. But ionic liquids are generally expensive to make,

Chemist James Dumesic, who is also part of the Wisconsin-Madison team, has worked with the liquid for years as a potential fuel in its own right,

in order to avoid being sued by corporations like Monsanto in case of accidental seed distribution. They made the law

because about 11 farmers a year get sued for this reason in the United states. There's no need to point at one case since Monsanto won every case.

Farmers who have sued Monsanto back have been defeated soundly. More sources on this documentation: http://thinkprogress. org/health/2012/11/21/1224761/farmers-insurance-sued-by-corporations/Monsanto claims not to sue farmers who have been cross pollinated by their neighbor's crops

but every year they sue and are paid when that trace amount becomes questionable. They claim they don't

Monsanto website states this: Can a farmer be sued when a small amount of GM crop seed blows into a neighbor s fields?

It has never been nor will it be Monsanto policy to exercise its patent rights where trace amounts of our patented traits are present in farmers fields as a result of inadvertent means.

Instead the burden of proof is on Monsanto to investigate the legitimacy of these claims and to resolve the issue as quickly

A study was published recently examining adverse effects of Bacillus thuringensis (aka the Bt toxin) that Monsanto builds into their corn and soy.

and he's kind of an expert. http://wwwi-sis. org. uk/Bt-toxin. phpit is no coincidence that Monsanto has invested so much money in our politicians and against measures such as California's Prop 37.

Why else would Monsanto help raise $45 million to prevent a bill requiring them and other companies to label GMO's on their products?
